Congratulations to Councilman Wesley Silva!

There's not really an official award or certificate, that I know of, given out by anyone of importance to recognize an accomplishment of a volunteer borough councilman. It is expected for that council person to always attend public meetings. But it's not always feasible for each council member to attend every meeting; This is evident when looking back at the years of public meeting minutes to see whose actually been present through the years, month after month, to discuss borough business. And while I don't care to have politics as part of this blog, I feel this is an extraordinary exception.

Wesley Silva, councilman, and chairman of Marianna Borough, did not miss a single public meeting in 2016 and 2017. Not one. You might think "so what." This is a RARE occurrence in municipalities. So, congratulations to Wesley Silva, and thank you for "showing up". I will also note, Mr. Silva missed only 2 meetings in 4 years of serving as well. This too is rare.
